Has anyone ever misted a cake with colored water with a fine mist spray bottle?

Do you mean mist the buttercream or the actual cake layers?

no but this seems quite interesting!have you seen this done before?I'm guessing that it would work, considering you can use hot water to ice cakes smooth etc..I would also think you could try coloring clear vanilla flav.and spray that as well,I have painted that on cakes which works well.let me know about the water though

izzybee,

This would be misting the buttercream. I guess you would call it the cheap man's way of air brushing.

I think I will try it. I just had using all that food coloring!!! I need to color a sheet cake blue for water so I think misting might just give it a little contrast and make it more water like.

The old school is to do this very thing. If you have an old decorating book, it should show you how to do it. It is just thinned out color in a very narrow tube and blown out onto the cake. Like blowing a spit wad! I can give spacific instructions if you like.

Interesting. Do you think you could use one of those bottles that Pampered Chef sells for oil? You pump the lid and it makes it spray like an aeresol(sp?) can. We have one but it doesn't work that well for oil.
